The Czar lost 34,2 5© men at
the battle of the river Shakhe.
That’s enough to make him
shakey.
From the election results it
does look like the South has at
last succeeded in getting out of
the Union

Captain Baldwin has packed
his airship up to ship it home.
Instead of shipping it, he should
sail it and sail in it.
Michigan pioduced 7,000,000
bushels of beans this year. Bos

Before the Russian navy licks

take care to find out to what
fisherwan the fleet belongs.
A peace congress ma)’ be call
ed to meet at Boston, It’s a
good idea to get a peace con
gress as far as possible from
Port Arthur.
Iienry G. Davis was unable
to go through a literary college
in his youth. And now in his
old age he is unable to go
through the electoral college.
Though Port Arthur has nev
er been prominent heretofore as
a winter resort, many of the
Japanese are said to be arrang
ing to spend the coming winter
there.
A Frenchman was arrested
the other day for engaging in a
duel. It’s an outrage to arrest
a man for taking part in such
harmless amusement as a French
duel.
Governor Terrell is to issue a
Thanksgiving proclamation for
Georgia. For one thing, we
cun all be thankful that Georgia
didn’t go the way the nation

mi unpopuliir was.
English correspondents writ
ing from Russia respecting the
war say that it is very unpopu
lar except with the official
At St. Petersburg, where
lie sentiment is controlled by
officials, the talk is that the
will be over in a few
and that the Japanese will be
badly beaten. Very little is said
of the severe reverses which the
Russians have sustained. In
Moscow, however, a different
story is heard. There the com
mercial spirit predominates,
there is no sympathy with the
war. The hope is frequently
expressed by men of wealth and
influence, that Russia will be
badly beaten, for then there will
arise a demand for eternal re
forms that the Czar and his
ministers will not be able to re
sist. It will be apparent to ev
ery oody that the reforms are
needed. It will be said that
the administration of public af
fairs is rotten since the boasted
army which costs so much main
tain couldn’t cope successfully
with a small Oriental nation.
These Russians who are hop
ing for the defeat of their army
arenot pro-Japanese in their feel
ings. They are sincere lovers
of their country, but they think
the. empire much more greatly
in need of internal reforms than
it is Manchuria.
The working classes seem to
take very little interest in the
war; and therefore, is all the
more stubborn in maintaining
the position he has taken in
regard to it. At first there was
danger of revolutionary' out
breaks against the government,
but the fear of them appears to
abated. The great mass of the
people seem to be waiting pati
ently for the end of the war to
come, believing that Russia will
be defeated and that then there
will be reforms of which the
country is in great need. They
believe the war will not have
been in vain if these reforms are
secured.
The Russian newspapers do
not reflect the opinion of the
masses of people respecting the
war. Perhaps they do not dare
to speak their real sentiments.
Their war news isn’t regarded
as reliable, though the papers
are eagerly gleaned for the lat
est reports from the scene of
battle. If the masses of the
Russian people could have their
way the war with Japan would
come to an end speedily, and
the work of making reforms in
the government from top to bot
tom would be begun.—Savan

Secretary Hay wishes to con
tinue educating the people of
our territories until they are
prepared for statehood, His
plan doubtless includes

New Mexico up to voting the
Republican ticket.
William L. Douglas’ great
victory in Massachusetts em
phasizes the fact that he would
be a magnificent presidertial
possibility if he were not handi

Russias securities remain quite
unaffected by the news from
Port Arthur, Russia's main se
curity. General Stoessel, is al
so quite unaffected according to
